Re: [Boost-users] Help with intrusive_ptr

Define a copy contructor and assignment operator for the base class that does not copy/assign the reference count. Subclasses will use that for the members defined in the base class, i.e. it will solve the problem for all derived classes.

If you want it very clean, write a class that contains only the reference count with do-nothing copy/assignment and then use that as a base class for your current base class.
